Re: Explosive gem spell
On occasion, I've been known to require additional *special* ingredients for certain magical items that seem to be unbalancing the game a bit -- something that makes it far harder or more expensive to make the item in question. That usually helps if you've got someone who has sat down and calculated some way to "break" the game by building a cheesy "explosive gem factory" or something. Plus, you can always introduce plot issues -- thugs trying to hijack the week's production, "industrial" accidents, city fathers raising taxes on a highly lucrative (and potentially very dangerous) industrial project underway within city limits... You get the picture. ;-)
